Had a look at various locations all week and weather and I have a gut feeling that (as of now) Cairns and coast to Port Douglas might actually be the best bet. 30-40% clouds. Out west seems worse (around Mt Carbine) and south east Mareeba looks like it might have a patch of clouds developing and hanging in between the range and the coast. Wind hasn't changed all week SE. So far I'll still stay in cairns. Leaving tomorrow morning. Good luck to all.
